Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Yes. So there is a default passive mitigation temp for the SoC at 75°C.
And the bpi has a setup with a fan mitigating before the cpu throttling.

No need to add this trip point, it should be changed to 75°C in SoC DT
mt7622.dtsi. This fragment of DT will concatenate with the previous one.
